| ICC:Nato to be investigated for Libya war crimes |
| 2011-11-03 |
| Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the court's chief prosecutor, told the United Nations yesterday that Nato troops would be investigated alongside rebel soldiers and regime forces for alleged breaches of the laws of war during the battle to overthrow Col Muammar Gaddafi. As well as the original charges that Gaddafi and his close family perpetrated attacks on Libyan civilians, there are a series of complaints about the Western alliance and its allies in the National Transitional Council (NTC) under consideration. "There are allegations of crimes committed by Nato forces, allegations of crimes committed by NTC-related forces ... as well as allegations of additional crimes committed by pro-Gaddafi forces," said Mr Moreno-Ocampo. "`These allegations will be examined impartially and independently by the prosecution." Golem raising against its creators, or whitewash? Go with the Golem. Any good idea can be made bad. Because it can be, it must be. |

| #2 So Saif is trying to escape with the help of mercs. And there are supposedly contractors in the Horn, doing one thing or another, and a Brit specops team went ashore in a uncontrolled part of Somalia and kidnapped a local big. Looks like the world is progressing, or regressing, to the sort of place in which the Thirties pulps were written. Nothing is so odd that it can't happen and that the reader would say, "Pshaw. Not likely." |
